If Blizzard is going to be focusing more on bgs / blitz as a form of pvp, I think it would be beneficial to change the scoreboard to show more information and give rewards for performing well.
Using warhammer online as an example, top in each category got additional rewards.
Top damage and healing ( self and others), time on objectives / holding flags, number of flag caps, damage mitigated, damage absorbed

They should do away with scoreboards entirely. Itās easy to pad out your numbers to make it look like you are doing good. Iāve done it. In bgs high numbers donāt always mean playing well. Itās either you win or you lose.

Yep. Play rated all season and when you get the rating you wanted you jump into random bgs and blow the F out of everything and everyone and then stare at the scoreboard after and bask in its glory!
Soulpriest, just as nature intended, indeed, exactly as nature intended.
Blow up them boards folks!
And Q up. Get that PvP on!
Iāve always said they should learn from Overwatch for end game accolades. The vote cards from OW 1 would be fun. Let me upvote that guy who returned 5 flags in warsong.
Also, something as little as fancy honor earned/rating earned animation can spice it up as well.
In my Opinion they should remove the scoreboard so certain people are not āfocusedā straight of the start.
People check the scoreboard, notice a name/role/class and that person is focused.
Should have to make decisions when/after combat starts, not before.
And then they can tone down some classes like healers as they would have a little more survivability just because of the extra time they have from reactions etc.
Then again i could be wrong i dont PvP at a high level so my ābalanceā thoughts could be wack.
Well the forums are just a sounding board for a lot of us. Blizz actually doesnāt put any effort into PvP and no blue posts have been spotted in these forums for years.
But I know I get focused majority of my games. And thatās fine. A) Iām a healer and B) Iāve been around a while C) any PvP title you wear will make you a target as well.
But I know when I see someone Ive played ranked games with Im always like ā so and so is a good player kill themā lol
My understanding is PvP is ābalancedā around Arena not Battlegrounds and Definitely not Epic Battlegrounds.
Its the main reason healers are only grouped in 3v3 and 5v5 has been removed.
Its also the main reason if you go into a 10v10 and there is lets say 3 healers at a node / base / midfield no one dies unless someone is focused. And even then if everyone blows cooldowns that healer focused can be saved (equal iLevel gearing considered).
Actually thereās never been any proof that PvP is even balanced other than via hot fixes. Wow is balanced around M+
PvP is an after thought. They bandaid anything horrific and pray it doesnāt go to sideways but in reality no one cares. M+ constitutes the majority of revenue via subscriptions and token sale generation.
PvP? No one cares
Every class has SOOOO many abilities and then there is items that contribute to MORE abilities.
Its is really hard to ābalanceā a game this complex. Its not a shooter where people run around shooting at each other.
Its also the reason I really like this game as its so complex.
People need to chill and enjoy the game for what it is.
But yeah im posting in this thread cause scoreboards are rubbish in my opinion.
Most have BGE addon or something similar to help with targeting.
